    Our server, Miranda, was outstanding! Her timing was impeccable, her disposition perfection, and recommendations spot on! We sat in the bar area (high top) near the piano. When making the res I was concerned about noise level. Not an issue at all. Was able to talk at a normal level, hear the entertainment (piano/singer - wow was she phenomenal!), and not be able to hear the tables adjacent to us. AND got to watch the Dallas vs Tampa Bay game. Lemon drop martini (equivalent to 2 martinis), and glass of ZD Chard paired well with prawns (grilled), excellent, Chilean sea bass (panko/parm crusted) and lobster mashed potatoes - all cooked to perfection and timed well. Overall a wonderful evening with my husband.

    Excellent food, especially the burgers. A little pricey, but we’ll worth it for the special occasions. Or if you or your significant other can’t cook and you don’t mind spending money on eating.

    Had a lovely lunch with a great ocean view. The service was a bit slow and the noise level a bit too noisy, but overall, we enjoyed our visit.

    Beautiful location beach facing at Crystal Cove. Christmas tree in the sand provided a lovely setting to take photos. Did not realise about the distant parking and shuttle bus so glad we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation time. Food and drink options fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed our meal apart from no asparagus in my risotto, hubbie shared his with me! Servers helpful and refilled water regularly. Well worth the visit, one for the memory books, will recommend:))
